rheem heater-honeywell thermostat

What model thermostat?? and yes the model number of the furnace along with the serial number would be helpfull too. They can be found inside the burner compartment on the right hand side wall

Whenever the heat doesnt work properly, it's ALWAYS the thermostat. Everyone knows that. Change it. If it still doesnt work properly, change the stat again. Bubba

First off, change the batterys in the stat. Whan was the last time the system was serviced by a *competent*, licensed, insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician??

BTW... that furnace is a 75k BTU furnace with a 3 ton blower drive and was manufactured week 32 in 1996, so its a little older than 7 years.

If changing the batterys in the stat doesn't take care of the problem, then its time to call a pro. Modern gas furnaces are not something that the home owner needs to be messing with unless they are a bonified HVAC technician. This isn't your Daddy's furnace no more

If it still under waranrt call Rheem what is happening and they will come out and they will fix it. Is it a rheem or a HD knock off. Any way if it is under warranty call the manufacturer and most if not all of your cost are covered.

Are we talking about a furnace or both, your header says water heater but in your thread it it tlaks about both. Which is it that you are haveing trouble with

I apologize to the masses, i thought he was talking about a water heater at first, eyes are playink tricks, this is Noon's expertise with the Rheem not me!

i opened up the junction box and found a possible loose connection that possibly could have caused this due to warm days cold nights and hopefully this is it.batteries in stat are new ,filters clean- like i said once it does come on it goes through the whole cycle according to manufacturers book, its also b vent to outside and this is shared with basement unit so i dont think that theres an obstruction there.and 2 green leds are on the board.i thank anyone for their knowledgde and input

Nice troll ya got there, Noon. I hate the holier than thou posters, who do exactly what they complain about, plonk...
